Many users run CC every day, or several times a day (unlike my puny once a week when I can remember). Many users are also heavy users, unlike my etc. So you could well have a backup folder of 20 gb, 50... 100 gb in a couple of weeks, containing hunderds of thousands of files, which would take some sorting.
I don't blindly delete everything that CC offers. I have my desired settings, and my delete don't worrry me at all. So my vote is no, too complex to adminster. But I don't really think that Kas is open to much discussion.

The option to recover files from a formatted (or otherwise 're-set') drive is Scan for Non-Deleted Files, not Deep Scan. This will run in a very much shorter time. I would recommend that you try this first. However if the college guy deleted all her files before the 're-set', which I would think is unlikely, then Deep Scan is your only option.
-
Whilst waiting for this to be implemented you could of course run Anaylse, then uncheck the boxes on the left that you don't want to clean, and just run Clean without the second Analyse. CC probably does an internal analyse anyway, but it would save one click and a few seconds.

I've just treated myself to a new PVR (or DVR according to what's written on the box) to replace my aging tape machine. I'm impressed so far, but HD is at present a waste of time and money.
Anyway, I was pondering, as one does. All the time the box is on it operates in pause/go back/catchup mode, so you can pause a live broadcast and resume later, or ff backwards (fb?)if you've missed a bit. This means that data is constantly being written to the hard disk at around 2 gb an hour. As I usually write about 25 mb a day to my pc, this is an enormous hammering of the disk in the PVR. Say 10 gb a day, 1 tb every 100 days. Or does it use the cache to do this? 320 mb isn't reallly enough. Actually I only use the PVR for recording/playback and the odd foray into HD, so most days it remains in standby, not writing to disk.
Another muse is do you think there's a reason why SSD's havent been used in PVR's (as far as I know)?
A last muse, there's no defrag facility! Ha, I always knew it was an over-rated pastime.

The discussion ended nearly two years ago. Please don't open old threads, MrDon, it's annoying and irrelevant. Start a new topic if you have anything you want to say.

All these numbers....
1080 mb is not 1.25 gb, no matter how you look at it. One gb is 1,073,741,824 bytes, so you could say that 1080 mb is 1 gb (with some crude rounding up). Also the difference between 1.25 and 1.3 gb is 0.05 gb, which is 53,687,091 bytes, or 51 mb, not 251.
However, if Speccy is saying that you have 1.3 mb of memory then it appears that something is incorrect. What's the total capacity and individual capacity of your memory cards in the expanded view?
All this has been calculated using the full mb/gb values - except the crude rounding up. I can't find anything that says what values Speccy uses, but I would expect it to use the proper figures for RAM instead of 1,000,000 and 1,000,000,000. It does add up my two 512 mb cards to 1024 mb, 1.0 gb.
P.S. I've just found out that we should be using the terms Mebibyte and Gibibyte. Nuts to that.

With version 2.361233, when I clean my pc it deletes the files needed to run Sweet Home 3D (http://www.sweethome...fr/download.jsp).
This removes the files in: sun java internet
specifically: c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\sun\java\deployement\cache\6.0\...
I know I can manually create a rule to avoid deleting these files but can it be (done directly with one of the settings in) ccleaner?
Thank you
Cordially

There's been some discussion here, and a lot in the ocztechnologyforum, about this matter. On a general sweep through the comments I think that the case is unproven. Personally I can't see how CC's wipe free space could equate to a trim command, but I'm no expert.
-
As far as I know the only safe way to overwrite unused records in the MFT is to create sufficient 'harmless' files to fill all the unused records, and then delete them. Naturally these harmless files will have some sort of name and format, and can be seen with Recuva (which is presumably what is annoying you).
MFT records for deleted files still point to a file and may point to one or more clusters on the disk. Both the MFT records and the clusters they point to can be used by the file system when creating and managing live files.
It's up to the CC developers to choose whether they change the naming of the files they create.
Is this what you mean by 'what the MFT-clear does'?
-
Personally I think that the unused extensions is one of the safest issues to fix, as long as you look at what you're doing. I have never seen a 'dangerous' extension offered for removal by CC. I think that removal of the 'Fix All Issues' button would be a safer bet, but would result in many complaints here.
-
Maybe the two formats have nullified Recuva's ability to show undeleted files. It looks as if deep scan is your only option, if you can get it to run. Does it get past stage 1? If so you can cancel stage 2 with no ill effect.
-
Right click the Recuva display panel and select Tree View, You can expand the view to find your folder and then recover the folder complete.
-
I'm confused. In your fisrt post you talk about recovery, but then go into using disk cleaners. In your second post "I overwrote it on the Recuva list" - what did you overwrite where? The disk space has returned on what?
-
Open Options/Actions and check Scan for non-deleted files. Uncheck Deep scan.
-
You may as well do a wipe free space on the partition you want to clear, it's as good as anything else. Formatting does not get rid of old data, it's more or less a slightly more thorough chkdsk. The pagefile is not overwritten during either wfs or formatting, as far as I know. You can clean it at pc shutdown by setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 1, or at least so Microsoft says. I don't know if this applies to Vista/7 or is the same registry key, you'll have to Google it.

Mr Don,
Most of your post is based on the unproven premise that electron microscopes can read 'stray' data. None of your references claim to be able to read or reconstruct overwritten data.
CC is a pc cleanup tool. It is not a forensic cleaner. It is not possible for an application to 'scrub the sides or undersides of magnetic tracks'. As you point out, there are forensic data cleaners available.
I can see no physical reason why CC WFS couldn't be run on an SSD. Your SSD paragraph appears to be correct, except that the last sentence is a little awry.

Isn't .png a pic file, and a very small one at 273 bytes?
I presume the created/last accessed times are when this was downloaded, or loaded, to your pc, and that this particular tiny image hasn't been accessed since. Possibly the last modified date (being three years before you accessed it) is when the image was created.
If you're looking for a video then you'll have to look again, as this isn't it.
-
The point I'm perhaps labouring is that the WFS entry in the registry, whatever its setting, does not mean that CC has run WFS, or has been run at all.
In the most simple and likely case, user installs CC, clicks a few settings on and off until a desired setup is reached, and then runs (or doesn't run) CC. The WFS entry in the registry indicates nothing except perhaps curiosity. I have the WFS entry in my registry yet I have never run WFS.
The registry entry is also of no value unless you have the associated Disk-I'm-going-to-wipe setting. WFS could have been run on another partition, another fixed or temporarily attached HD, or a flash drive.
-
Sorry old chap, 15/10 is in the future. Can you explain what you mean more clearly?
-
Even if you could find the registry entries, it's very easy to show that changing the settings in CC changes the registry without running CC, so that WFS=True doesn't mean that WFS has been run. You can also show that you can have WFS (for instance) unchecked and then right click on it and select Clean, which will run WFS without changing the registry. So CC registry entries do not necessarily reflect the last run of CC.
Perhaps Alan's expert witness could also show that downloading and running CC is no indication of any impropriety whatsoever.

Yes, but I'm not in Brussels, Copenhagen, Lisbon or wherever the other one was. This would make me one hour ahead in winter. I need GMT plus Daylight Saving Time, which doesn't appear to be an option.
-
Ha! I'm still wondering how to get this forum to show DST instead of GMT. I thought from the topic that you were quoting George Orwell, but the sky is clear here.

You're a true pioneer, Login. I'll have a go when I have a few hours spare.

You do a scan with show undeleted files and there in all their glory are the meta files that drive your system ($MFT, $BadClus, $Boot etc). Now the temptation to recover them to a flash drive and then have a look inside is well, for some of us, quite high. Has anyone done this?

If you don't mind I think I'll close this thread, as it's getting a little crabby.
